In a world of turmoil, a promise was given,
A child born, a Son to us, by heaven.
Prince of Peace, His name, His rule without end,
Justice and righteousness, in Him, they blend.

Wonderful Counselor, for every land.

With fairness and love, His kingdom lit.
Through all our trials, wars, and strife,
